00:00I'll be handing out your test.
00:05Everyone, please settle down.
00:07Come on.
00:09Hi. You must be our new student.
00:12Why don't you introduce yourself to the class?
00:14Hi, I'm Haley.
00:16Where do you think you are? The funeral or a mosh pit?
00:19Tish, mm-mm. That's not very welcoming.
00:22It's okay. I'm unbothered by it.
00:24Keep a-coming.
00:26Okay.
00:26Okay. Well, go ahead.
00:28Find yourself a seat.
00:31Uh-uh. This bag is Prada, so she gets her own seat.
00:37Uh, there's a desk open over here if you want.
00:42Aw, look at that.
00:44The two biggest losers in the whole school sitting next to each other.
00:47It's almost like it's meant to be.
00:52Hey, why do you look so familiar?
00:56I don't know.
00:58You do, too.
01:01Hey, you know, um, I have a few hacks on how to survive the whole bookside experience.
01:08A few tricks.
01:10I could, um, give you a couple.
01:13Sure. I'd like that.
01:16Let's go, let's go, let's go.
01:19Bookside survival hack number one.
01:22How to avoid gym class.
01:24Because no one likes getting sweaty all day and then having to walk around in it.
01:27So, I come here under the bleachers where Mr. Soha can't see me.
01:32Well, I guess us now.
01:35We don't have to run like the rest of those suckers.
01:37Thank goodness for that.
01:40This is the future CEOs of America's Table.
01:43They call themselves that.
01:44Gross, right?
01:48They're all snobs.
01:49They don't even let you sit at their table unless you have an IQ over 125.
01:53or a parent who's been on Fortune's top 100s list.
01:56Which brings us to bookside survival tip number two.
01:59Sit in the corner where you're only surrounded by one side of jerks.
02:04This is where the athletes spend 90% of their days.
02:10Bookside survival tip number three.
02:12Best not to walk down these hallways without earbuds.
02:15Okay, ladies, I'm thinking of running for class present.
02:21We are approaching the dragon's lair.
02:24The what?
02:24Shh.
02:25Bookside survival tip number four.
02:27Approach room two or three with extreme caution.
02:33There she is.
02:34The queen dragon herself tish bombs
02:37as she lords over her mindless horde of snobs.
02:40Okay, so far, every spot of this tour of yours has been places to avoid.
02:49Don't you have any other spots that you actually enjoy?
02:51I do, but it's sort of a secret.
02:53It's like my hidden sanctuary.
02:56Can you take me there?
02:57I don't know.
02:57Do you swear you won't tell anyone, even if you're being tortured?
03:04Okay.
03:04Okay.
03:10It's a little dark in here.
03:33Yeah, I'm working on it.
03:34Wow, this is so cool.
03:40What is it?
03:42It used to be a dark room back when they had photography class or something.
03:47I think Mrs. Lawson just forgot it was here.
03:49So, I turned it into my own sanctuary.
03:53I come here to get away from all of them.
03:57What exactly is your beef with them?
03:59I don't know.
04:00I mean, they've always hated me, so I just hate them right back.
04:05Saves us time.
04:06Sounds lonely.
04:08You get used to it.
04:12Whoa.
04:13These are so fire.
04:15Did you paint these all yourself?
04:17Yeah, yeah.
04:17That one took me two days.
04:20You should keep it.
04:22Really?
04:22Yeah.
04:23Yeah, I mean, it suits you.
04:27Do you think I could maybe get your number?
04:31Uh, yeah.
04:32Yeah, absolutely.
04:36Here you go.
04:37Good.
04:37Good.
04:38Get out of that disgustingly depressing outfit and change into the dress I set out for you.
05:00What?
05:01Why?
05:01Because Barry's going to be here in less than an hour for dinner.
05:03Why is Barry coming over for dinner?
05:09He says he has a, quote, once-in-a-lifetime deal for you to star in your very own franchise.
05:16This is everything you've worked so hard for.
05:19But we agreed.
05:20I'm taking this year off so I can finish my senior year at a regular school.
05:24Of course, sweetie.
05:25Uh, of course.
05:27That is what we agreed to.
05:28But...
05:29It doesn't hurt to at least see an offer, does it?
05:34Exactly.
05:35Now go get changed before you scare the ducks.
05:38Come on.
05:38Hey, guys.
05:55If you won't believe it, I met someone actually cool for once.
05:58Isn't that awesome?
06:00And at school, of all places.
06:01Hey, want to play?
06:10I don't know, Pete.
06:11You ready to lose?
06:12Nuh-uh.
06:12Not this time.
06:13Come on.
06:14We're in the front.
06:15Okay.
06:19And don't forget to do your makeup, sweetie.
06:21Pete!
06:47Get away from him.
06:48But, Mom, we were just playing.
06:50I don't want you to play with that freak.
06:52Come on, Joey.
06:53You too.
06:54Let's go.
07:03You know I respect your decision to take some time off, Hayley.
07:06You know I do.
07:07But this isn't just any movie we're talking about here.
07:10This is an entire franchise built around you.
07:13Think about that.
07:15It's the offer every actor dreams of.
07:17I don't care.
07:18I mean, we agreed I get to finish my senior year.
07:21Right?
07:24Well, um, we've been thinking, sweetie.
07:28That maybe you rushed this a little too quickly.
07:32Wait, you're taking Barry's side instead of your own daughter's?
07:35No, never.
07:36Of course not, sweetie.
07:40Let's just get to the bottom line, okay?
07:41This is what they're offering to pay you.
07:45And that's just for the first movie.
07:48And they want to do at least three more.
07:51Plus, the studio wants to stoke the social media fires.
07:54So, they want to arrange a few dates with you and your new leading man, Zach Towers.
08:01Ooh, he's a cool guy.
08:03My daughter says he's so cool.
08:07So, that'll be fun, right?
08:08No.
08:09I'm not dating someone like him.
08:11I mean, he's gross.
08:13Who is your type?
08:15That one boy you keep talking about who never even wrote you back?
08:18Grow up, Haley.
08:22Sweetie, we have to at least consider this.
08:25Why?
08:27Because this is life-changing money.
08:29We already made life-changing money.
08:31How much more do you need to be happy?
08:33Don't worry.
08:39We'll get her to change her mind.
08:41We always do.
08:42One way or the other.
08:43One way or the other.
08:43One way or the other.
09:13One way or the other.
09:21Okay.
09:22Oh, my God.
09:23Oh.
09:23Oh, my God.
09:32Oh, my God.
09:41I don't know.
10:11I'm worried, Paul.
10:37I don't know what we're going to do.
10:39We're barely getting by with just your income anymore.
10:42Well, we're not going to dip into Haley's savings.
10:45No, of course not.
10:47That's her money.
10:48I just, I don't know how we're going to get out of this hole.
10:51We're going to be fine, okay?
10:53Even if I have to take three jobs.
10:55What's going on?
10:56What's wrong?
10:57Oh, nothing.
10:59Everything's fine, sweetie.
11:00I can't believe you're choosing to wear that hideous outfit and your hair like that in public.
11:06Gotta go or I'll be late for school.
11:09Hey.
11:13What are you doing here?
11:15I was just waiting for you.
11:17I thought your sorcerer needed a friend.
11:23Man, this is actually so cool.
11:25Thanks.
11:26It took me a couple hours, so I even gave him a little eyes.
11:28Look at them.
11:29They'd almost make a cute couple if they weren't such giant freaks.
11:32Hello?
11:38I said freaks.
11:41Sorry.
11:42I don't know what I was about.
11:46Yeah, yeah.
11:47I just got off the phone at the studio, and they're willing to double the offer to Hayley.
12:13But they need an answer soon.
12:17And they want Zach and Hayley to be photographed going to dinner next week.
12:21So tell her to look her best.
12:24That's not a problem, is it?
12:27No.
12:28No, it's not a problem at all.
12:29Norman, these are incredible.
12:37You're so talented.
12:39You think?
12:39I mean, I've never shown any of these to anyone before.
12:42Mr. Soha, look.
12:44I found them.
12:45All right, what are you two doing down there?
12:46You and your little godfriend better start running.
12:50Come on, let's go.
12:52Get moving.
12:54Or it's going to be detention for one month.
12:55Hayley, come on.
12:59Take those layers off.
13:00You're going to boy to death out there.
13:02I'll be fine, thanks.
13:13Keep moving, Hayley.
13:19Hey, hey, you don't look so good.
13:20Are you sure you're okay?
13:22I'm fine.
13:22I'm fine.
13:25Hayley.
13:32She's overheating.
13:34Get these hoodies off her.
13:35Billy, go get some ice packs.
13:37Let me see that water.
13:38Come on, Hayley, please wake up.
13:40What's that?
13:41What's that?
13:45That's Hayley Jones.
13:47The Hayley Jones, the movie star.
13:50Oh, my God.
13:50Oh, my God.
13:52No way.
13:53Oh, my God.
13:54What happened?
14:04You overheated and passed out.
14:08That's embarrassing, huh?
14:09Is she going to be okay?
14:10Wait, Norman, I can explain.
14:20Just tell me the truth.
14:22Was any of this real, or were you just doing some research for an upcoming role where you
14:25had to pretend you were into some freak?
14:27You got it all wrong.
14:29None of it was fake.
14:30You're not a freak.
14:32You're amazing.
14:32You can stop the acting.
14:34You know, everyone at this school hates me, but at least they're honest about it.
14:38You're just fake.
14:44Don't cry, dear.
14:46Norman stayed here until you woke up.
14:49He'll come around.
14:50By the way, I'm your biggest fan.
14:54Do you think I can get your autograph?
14:56Are you okay, sweetie?
15:20No.
15:21The whole school found out who I really was, and now everything's ruined.
15:24Oh, that's so awful.
15:26I'm so sorry, honey.
15:27What's going on with these bills?
15:46Oh, don't worry about those.
15:49Yeah, sorry about that.
15:50You weren't supposed to see those.
15:52But everything's fine.
15:53It's fine.
15:54We just want you to be happy, no matter what.
15:57And if that means we have to make a few lifestyle changes, so be it.
16:27I've let you and Haley down.
16:42No, you didn't.
16:44It's one rejection from one bank.
16:46We'll find the money somehow.
16:48It's the third bank to reject us.
16:50I don't know how we're going to make the mortgage payments this month.
16:53What does that mean?
16:55We might lose the house?
16:57I'll take a third job if I have to.
17:03Sweetie!
17:04Hi!
17:05I thought you were taking a nap.
17:07I couldn't sleep.
17:08I decided to do the movie.
17:16Oh, no, sweetie.
17:17You don't have to do that for us.
17:19It sounds like I do.
17:21Tell Barry I'll sign whatever he needs.
17:31Call.
17:31Call, Bill.
17:32Hey, Barry.
17:38She's in.
17:40Good.
17:41Because the studio is about to move on to another actress.
17:44We need that deal signed today.
17:46I'll be over there in ten minutes to get it.
17:47Okay.
17:48Okay.
17:49See you.
17:50Yeah.
17:50Let's go.
17:52Let's go.
17:52Adopt the contract.
18:16Adopt the contract.
18:22Now everyone's happening.
18:33Hayley, it's going to be okay.
18:36Yeah.
18:37We love you.
18:38Look, I know that going to high school is difficult.
18:41That's why we were so shocked that you even wanted to go.
18:44But don't worry.
18:46We'll hire a tutor and you can finish your senior year on set.
18:49But your career is about to go to the next level.
18:54It's your dream.
18:56It's not my dream.
18:57This is your dream.
18:58What do you mean?
19:00You love acting.
19:02You always wanted to be in place when you were younger.
19:04That was when I was eight.
19:06It was fun back then.
19:08But now, the only reason I kept going is because you two needed me to.
19:12All I ever wanted was to be a normal, regular person.
19:17And have real friends that liked me for me and not because of my money or my fame.
19:23Oh, sweetie.
19:24You will always have us.
19:27We love you no matter what.
19:30And we always will.
19:33Sure.
19:33This is fantastic.
19:47This franchise is going to print money for you and your daughter.
19:52We have to celebrate.
19:55It's not exactly champagne, but it'll do.
20:00Just do it.
20:01That's the right thing to do.
20:02Yes, we talked about it.
20:09Hey, what are you doing?
20:12No.
20:13Sorry, Barry.
20:14But our daughter just returned.
20:16Are you insane?
20:17Do you know how much money you're throwing away?
20:20Money isn't everything to us.
20:22But our daughter's happiness is.
20:28You're making a huge mistake.
20:32Is everything okay?
20:39It is now.
20:40We told Barry that you passed on the movie.
20:43And as of now, you're retired.
20:46Wait.
20:47Really?
20:49We love you, sweetie.
20:51Not your fame or money.
20:53You.
20:55We may have lost sight of that a little bit.
20:57And we're sorry for every second of it.
21:00And if being a regular girl makes you happy, we support you.
21:04We will always support you.
21:06So, I can finish my senior year at Bookside?
21:17Okay.
21:20Can you believe that that loser thought that Hayley Jones would actually like him?
21:24I heard that she was just studying what it's like to be a complete loser for a few days.
21:30How sad.
21:31What are you doing here?
21:59I needed to apologize in person for lying to you.
22:06I lied to you about who I was.
22:08Not because I was trying to trick you.
22:11But because I just wanted to meet someone who liked me for me.
22:15Not for what I could give them.
22:17You know?
22:18I've been famous ever since I was eight.
22:21Which means I've been alone since then.
22:24Just like you.
22:25So, I made this for you.
22:27And there's only been one person in this whole world who's liked me because of me.
22:39And I really don't want to lose you like I lost him.
22:42You think you could ever forgive me?
22:48Wait.
22:49Where did you get that?
22:51Oh, this?
22:52I always had this one.
22:54You just haven't seen it because of the whole hoodie situation.
22:59Someone made this for me.
23:00Actually, he was the one I was just talking about.
23:05The only other person who could ever get me.
23:08I remember you now.
23:20You showed me how to get out of all the boring camp activities.
23:26And made me this necklace.
23:30I made you that necklace so you'd remember me.
23:33And you promised me that you'd email.
23:41But you never did.
23:45I wanted to.
23:47But on the drive back, there was an accident.
23:50A truck ran a red light and I was in a coma for a week.
23:56And when I woke up, they told me both my parents were dead.
23:59And the car was destroyed and everything in the car, including your...
24:03email address.
24:04I'm so, so sorry.
24:07I didn't know what to do when I woke up.
24:09I didn't know how to find you or if I'd ever see you again.
24:13I've thought about you every day since then.
24:16So have I.
24:17I didn't know what to do when I woke up.
24:18I didn't know what to do when I woke up.
24:19I didn't know what to do when I woke up.
24:20I didn't know what to do when I woke up.
24:21I didn't know what to do when I woke up.
24:22I didn't know what to do when I woke up.
24:23I didn't know what to do when I woke up.
24:24I didn't know what to do when I woke up.
24:25I didn't know what to do when I woke up.
24:26I didn't know what to do when I woke up.
24:27I didn't know what to do when I woke up.
24:28I didn't know what to do when I woke up.
24:29I didn't know what to do when I woke up.
24:30I didn't know what to do when I woke up.
24:31I didn't know what to do when I woke up.
24:32Amen.
